Festivities opened at ʻIolani<\/span> Palace on September 2, in celebration of the 185th birthday of Queen Liliʻuokalani<\/span>, Hawaiʻi<\/span>\u2019s last reigning monarch. These included a preview of the upcoming 东精影业<\/abbr> Mānoa Department of Theatre and Dance and Kennedy Theatre production, Kaisara<\/em>. The ʻōlelo<\/span> Hawaiʻi<\/span> (Hawaiian language) hana keaka (play) is inspired by four scenes from William Shakespeare\u2019s Julius Caesar<\/em> that were translated into Hawaiian by James N<\/abbr>. K<\/abbr>. Keola and published in a Hawaiian language newspaper in 1896.<\/p>\n

“Hawaiʻinuiākea<\/span> continues to partner with members of the Hawaiʻi<\/span> Ponoʻī<\/span> Coalition to honor our Queen and the true history of our people,” said Malia Nobrega, director of strategic partnerships at Hawaiʻinuiākea<\/span> who helped organize events. “It is our hope that throughout Hawaiian History Month we all get to learn more about the history of our past, the exciting stories of today, and create a future for our keiki that is rooted in ALOHA ʻĀINA<\/span> (love of the land).”<\/p>\n
